Care (or how to keep this tropical empress always majestic):

🌞 Bright, indirect light: Alocasia Chantrieri prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window where it will receive filtered light, avoiding direct sun that could burn its delicate leaves. With the right lighting, its dark, almost mystical hues will remain as vibrant and mesmerizing as ever.

💧 Moderate watering: This tropical empress appreciates a substrate that is kept slightly moist, but not puddled. Water when the top layer is dry to the touch, and make sure excess water can drain well. A little tip: use filtered or rainwater to make it feel in its natural habitat and prevent tap chemicals from affecting its roots.

🌿 High humidity: Chantrieri comes from tropical climates, so it loves humidity. If your environment is dry, a humidifier will be your best ally, or place a tray with water and stones under the pot to increase the humidity around it. This extra touch of humidity will help its leaves maintain their spectacular texture and color.

🥂 Occasional fertilization: Give your plant a balanced houseplant fertilizer once a month during spring and summer. This will stimulate its growth and keep its foliage strong and vibrant. In winter, reduce fertilization to help it conserve its energy.

🏺 Well-drained pot: Alocasia Chantrieri needs a well-aerated potting mix and a pot that allows for good drainage. Use a light mix, such as a tropical potting mix with a touch of perlite or bark, to keep its roots cool and avoid overwatering.

Cleaning leaves: To keep your leaves shining and looking majestic, wipe them from time to time with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust. This will not only make it look impeccable, but will also help it breathe better.
